i don't think they want to solve the issue, i think they want to politicize it. so my advice to republican lawmakers, proceed with caution. joining me now with reaction to today's announcement. senator marco rubio, senator, good visor bad advice? >> good advice. and thanks for having me on to talk about this important topic. i think it's a good moment to remind people and the country that the vast majority of favorites favor legal immigration and we don't have a legal immigration system that works right now and our problem with illegal immigration is that it undermines legal immigration. so we have 11 million people that are undocumented and we understand that we have to deal with this issue because we have 11 million people that by all accounts are going to be here the rest of their lives with or without documents, but our objection has been in the past that we can't do anything to deal with 11 million people that, number one, is unfair to people who have done i the right way, or number two, that will encourage illegal immigration in the future. and that's why y

once president obama said that he was concerned about this head injury issue and if he had a seven he would wonder if he wanted his son to play football, roger goodell knew there would be plenty of people asking. it's not going to be an actual concern for the president but it is echoing the thoughts of many parents around the country. you know, friday night lights, it's such a cultural part of so many kids and towns in the u.s., get your kid into football. should parents still do this, is this a smart thing? goodell wanted to assure people that this is a problem they are continuing to work on, continuing to pour research in. they're going to take an additional step for the players on the field coming up this next season. they're going to have independent neurologists on the sideline. these will not be doctors that are hired by the team with the team's interest in mind, these will be independent neurologists who will then talk to the player and supposedly be making a more independent judgment about whether they should go back in with a possible head injury. but still, there is a lot of

obama wants am inmates at this. it seems that marco rubio had a similar reaction to the so-called plan. he issued the following statement. he said i'm concerned by the president's unwillingness to accept significant enforcement triggers before current undocumented immigrants can apply to a green card. without such in place, enforcement systems will never be implemented and will be back in just a few years dealing with mill yows of new undocumented people in the country. finally the speech left the impression he believes reforming immigration quick sli more important than reforming immigration rights. if we want to talk about immigration reform, we first need to secure the border or one day god forbid, a terrorist is going cross that border and wreak havoc on american soil. we need to stop the drugs and human trafficking all taking place along that border. i've seen this all firsthand. i have covered the border extensively. i have been out with agents, in their boats, all terrain vehicles, out on horseback. i've been
